Petit Jean Mountain State Park


One Saturday morning we decided to go hiking at Petit Jean Mountain State Park, which is only about an hour and a half from Little Rock. We had a very pleasant drive up to the park and decided to do the Seven Hollows trail. The Seven Hollows trail is my favorite, because of the huge rock formations. Here's Sweetie and the Little Black Dog on the Seven Hollows trail.


We didn't get very far before we realized that the trail was really CROWDED, so we decided to do the BSA (Boy Scouts of America) trail instead. We pretty much had the trail to ourselves for most of the time. We're spoiled from hiking at our place in the country, because we usually don't run into anyone on the trails we hike there. Anyway, it was a good hike - nice and warm, but breezy - and we ended up at Mather Lodge.


This is a pic of the vista from Mather Lodge - doesn't really do it justice, you have to be there!


Here's another pic from close by.  There are so many great trails at this park - that's why it was crowded!
